So as you know, I’m doing my Discomfort Zone thing tomorrow (CAT STORIES?? AT 10:30 IN THE MORNING?? Oh, for the love of Christ.), but our own Ned Lannamannaman is being thrust into the Discomfort Zone next week! GOT ANY IDEAS THAT WILL MAKE HIM WRITHE IN DISCOMFORTMENT?

If you want to play, look for weird, discomfortable events that fall anytime on the following dates: FRIDAY, AUGUST 26-SUNDAY, AUGUST 28.

What we know about Ned so far: He likes science. He hates horrible music. He dislikes making contact with other human beings. That’s about it. (Oh, and while you are welcome to suggest things like, “Shit into a hat and make him wear it,” we would prefer actual events that we don’t construct ourselves. Otherwise, we’d be using our own endless supply of sadistic creativity to torture Ned, which is a lot worse than merely wearing a shat-into hat, and super illegal I think.) HAPPY HUNTING!

Bang bang, choo-choo train, let me see you shake that thang. Wm. Steven Humphrey is the editor-in-chief of the Portland Mercury and has held the job since 2000. (So don’t get any funny ideas.)

  1. “He likes science. He hates horrible music. He dislikes making contact with other human beings.”

    The answer should be obvious, make him attend a Christian music and/or creationist festival.

  3. Dress Ned up all Homelessly and make the so’mabitch spange all day. It’d be interesting to see how much ca$h money he can make and how many people treat him like shit.
